What was the single most humanitarian moment in history?
You’ve posted on the wrong board, Veeky Forums is for armchair historians to argue about wars and racial superiority
When America vaporized 250,000 bloodthirsty nips, thus saving the world from their savagery. Very humanitarian.
The duel purpose was to make Stalin btfo
Case and point here
think you already nailed it op
the berlin airlift
the surrender of Jerusalem to Saladin
The white buses program during ww2/Germans who helped jews escape axis influence
>Berlin Airlift
>Not a Western power move
I mean, it was philanthropic by all means but like hell if it wasn't 80% to spite the Soviets
>save tens of thousands of people from starving for months as winter approaches because hte soviets literally will not let them receive food because the soviets don't want the allies to establish a stable currency in the post war environment for germany
>shed the blood of dozens of airmen to deliver millions of tons of needed fuel and food and stave off societal collapse and submission to the dreary despotism of the communist expansion
that's a power play to you? you're a damned cynic
Too boot it was more arrogance of Truman and sheer luck of having one of the easiest winters that enabled this. It was an accident that they politicized as humanitarian
get the fuck out of my Veeky Forums kremlinshills
The holocaust
I came here for this.
>implying the nukes didn't save millions of lives
japs aren't a race
The eradication of endemic smallpox.
Also nice reddit image. The Christmas Truce is overrated.
I was going to respond to you with a big flame about how much I hate fuckwits like you blaming everything they don't like on reddit. But, 4chins wouldn't let me post because it thought it was spam from the various and diverse ways I said fuck you and the dipshits like you.
Woodstock
I could literally breathe the love in the air
No trust me, that's just the drugs. My dad was there, I got told all about it.
I don't understand how they just kept fighting and killing each other after that.
Is it a humanitarian action to kill thousands of civilians to save your own soldiers and to fuck off your not-yet-enemy ? I doubt that
I mean the amount of Japanese lives that were saved is probably in the millions
Yeah, I could totally accept someone that old using a computer adequately enough to post on an anonymous image-board. Yes, I am ageist to a degree.
>spiting the Soviets
>not humanitarian
WWII
Civil War
the holocaust
Vietnam War when Americans brought freedom and civilization to uncivilized gooks living in the jungle
edgy
Christmas Truce was pretty nice
U-boat commander Hardegan torpedoed a merchant ship close to the Florida coast, and then moved in to finish the job with deck gunfire as per standard practice. Looking ashore he observed civilian vehicles arriving on the scene, civilian buildings and housing nearby, and people arriving on the beach. He maneuvered his boat inshore of the stricken freighter so he could fire out to sea and spare the civilians, although it risked his own boat. Based Nazi, he was. He didn't survive the war.
>torpedoes a merchant ship in american waters
>but its ok cause he fired away from civilians!
Asshurt american detected
Does ANYTHING in history even compare to the Christmas Truces?
and they became so civilized that they kicked America's ass
job well done
1885, Serbo-Bulgarian war, Serbian army lets Red Cross go through to the Bulgarians to help the wpunded, as the only way there went through Serbian frontline.
